Van Halen, Thrice, Rancid and POLITICS!!!!
First off, I'd like to make sure that all of the law enforcement agents who routinely read our stuff(special shoutout to the Miami PD, apparently they love us) are aware that Chainsaw's picture of the 9 year old singer of Paramore was his idea and his alone. I did not approve of his decision to post that and I don't condone objectifying underage singers in such a way. Besides, everyone knows that JoJo is WAY hotter.
Moving on......
- Van Halen is going out on the road but due to issues (which I'm sure didn't involve Eddie's ego) between Eddie and whoever the guy is that played bass, they didn't have a bassist. Luckily, Eddie was able to scrape up a replacement in no time......HIS 15 YEAR-OLD SON. This is Wolfie, short for Wolfgang.
Awesome. A 15 year old kid out on the road playing in his Dad's GIGANTIC rock band. Wolfie's TOTALLY not going to be fucked up in 10, sorry 3, years. The good news is that it looks like he's been sticking to the salami tray in the green room instead of the nose candy. Give him time.....
- Thrice is currently in their home studio working on a 4-EP album that will be named after the 4 elements: Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. The songs on each EP will reflect their respective element. You can read their studio journal here.
- In an effort to improve their street cred, Rancid has made a slight change to their lineup. Their old drummer, Brett Reed, has left and is being replaced by none other than Brandon Steineckert, ex-drummer of The Used. Nice call on that one Timmy. It's a good thing you've never worked with Pink or hung out with Good Charlotte and Kelly Osbourne or you'd have a lot of kids wearing safety pins on their clothes writing 'Fuck Tim' in white-out on their sleeveless jean jackets.
Finally, in honor of tomorrow's elections, here's a little commercial featuring some local Arizona musicians (Jimmy Eat World, Gin Blossoms, Cursive, etc.) campaigning for Harry Mitchell. This is pure genius. If some dude from the Gin Blossoms asking you about the genocide in Darfur and a fat guy in an Avail hat can't convince you to vote for this guy, nothing will.
That's it for now. Happy Monday.
